CERAC Introduces New Pre-Melted Oxide Evaporants
Rounding off its comprehensive range of thin film products, CERAC (Milwaukee, WI, USA) now offers a series of pre-melted refractory oxide materials that are ready for immediate use in customers' evaporation processes. The company says that these melted materials offer reduced outgassing and spitting, allow for longer coating runs due to the increased density over sintered materials and deliver cost savings by reducing overall cycle times for customers.
By using a custom long-throw, high power e-beam furnace, CERAC is able to produce melted parts made from its own starting materials. Field support provided by CERAC's Advanced Technology Group offers additional value to customers with specific product or application questions. Cones, rods, discs and pieces are manufactured for all e-beam coating platforms, customised to fit any individual pocket or crucible.
Advantages claimed for the pre-melted material include the saving of valuable preparation time, reduced outgassing and spitting during production, help in improving coating yields, and an increased density which allows for longer coating runs.
